Session 03: Hybrid Heat Pump Solutions for Commercial Facilities
Date & Time
Wednesday, March 19, 2025, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Description

Hybrid heat pump solutions are becoming more common in commercial buildings, where the owners prefer using heat pumps to reduce their carbon footprint, but where the facility could also benefit by including backup gas-fired or electric boilers. Electric heat pumps consume no fossil fuels and emit no greenhouse gases directly, but they also have some performance limitations at extreme conditions.  This hybrid solution of including backup boilers with heat pumps for a temporary source of hot water during extreme conditions, provides the resiliency needed to keep the building operational during all conditions, with only a small impact to its carbon emissions.  Learn about the details of hybrid heat pump solutions, which are a realistic way to move toward climate goals without sacrificing performance in your commercial facility.
